144 THE AMERICAN BOOK OF THE DOG. appear to have in many instances only had in view tlic production of an animal tiiat can gallo)i, and tliereby cover more ground than other dogs which might be brought against them; and nose lias thereby suffered to a great extent. Witli regard to breeding, management, and training, nothing furtlier need be added to those departments of canine lore than can be found elsewhere in this volume, for the observations and instructions given on those points with especial reference to other breeds will apply with equal force to the Pointer. This dog is easily bred true to type, is not difficult to rear and keep in a state of health, and is more easily trained than any other sj^orting dog; also remembering his lessons the best.
